    Hmmm...wonder if this story is totally factual or not? if it is, must be a wonderful time to visit Disney World with shorter wait times right now!

    COVID is spiking in Florida right now. Add in the confusion and unpopularity of vaccines as well and you have a serious situation brewing. Hand sanitizing is a must. If I were going to WDW this fall, I'd consider masking up.

    year you first went to WDW

    Does visiting the Preview Center count? I went there in March 1970 while visiting family in St. Pete Beach. It had a gift shop! We drove over one morning; I was 23 years old. My first visit to the Magic Kingdom was in March 1972, about 6 months after it opened. We stayed at the Polynesian...
